College group cancels diversity 'happy hour' after excluding white staffers

[StormX]

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- An attempt to fight racism at a community college may have backfired.

A group of employees at South Puget Sound Community College sent out an invitation to all 300 staffers.

The "Staff, Faculty and Administrators of Color" encouraged employees to reply to the invitation to find out the confidential date and time of what was being called a "happy hour" to "build support and community" for people of color.

The invite made it clear white people were not invited.

The email read: "If you want to create space for white folks to meet and work on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege to better our campus community and yourselves, please feel free to do just that."

"It was obviously a mistake," said SPSCC's Dean of College Relations, Kellie Purce Braseth.

Braseth said the group that put out the email last week apologized the next day and canceled the event. She said the college believes the best way to celebrate and discuss diversity is to include everyone.

"If you want to come you should be able to come, that just makes a richer conversation," said Braseth.
Karama Blackhorn, program coordinator for the school's Diversity and Equity Center, helped write the invitation.

She said it could have been worded differently, but she maintains the staff members of color would have a more honest discussion about race without white employees. "When trying to explicitly talk about race it can be a really difficult conversation for a lot of people," said Blackhorn.

Can't have the crackers attend while you blame them for miserable lives...

I'm surprised this even made the news. I wonder if charlatans Jackson and Sharpton will jump on this.

Can you imagine if the situation had been this instead?

the thing is, it wasn't a mistake. They didn't change a thing until people started talking about how ridiculous it was. They fully intended to exclude white people and the even make the excuse that some people might feel uncomfortable.

Yeah, not a mistake

You are absolutely correct. And so is Usfreedom911, had the situation been reversed all the 24 hour networks would be playing this all the live long day. And this thread would have about 200 posts with losers like Rune and Zappasguitar acting like they care about racism in this country. Then you would have the insane Evince rambling about cock on her forehead and so forth.

Perhaps if we really step up this level of extreme rhetoric, to the point where these events are occurring monthly, on most campuses, we can dramatically cause the rate of white liberal student suicides to spike.

BINGO; this thread would be on page 150 and there would be headlines in every major news paper in the nation.
